Custom designs create functional, cost-effective trays for medical and pharmaceutical uses.
A medical custom thermoformer specializes in high-quality, even-walled, nestable component packaging. The design, engineering, and production staff create functional trays and diagnostic kits up to 8 in. deep and 60 in. long. The company offers secondary decorative operations. Strategically placed cleanroom manufacturing facilities allow the company to reduce shipping time and lead time requirements. Prent Corp., Janesville, WI.
A thermoformer of plastic packaging offers stock trays for the shipping, handling, and inventory of medical component parts. Stackable trays are available in various sizes. Samples of standard units are available in white polystyrene. Custom trays are also available and are made to specification in the company's clean forming area. The firm offers a documented quality system, traceability, particulate control, part design, and tooling in-house. Sun Plastics, Clearwater, MN.
Medical device trays are custom designed and produced in a company's Class 100,000 cleanroom. The company has the capacity to produce three-dimensional graphic renderings of trays, thereby allowing a design to simulate a finished product before a sample is produced. This process shortens the tray development cycle. Alloyd Company, Inc., DeKalb, IL.
A vial handling tray for 1–10-ml vials reduces storage space. The vial handling tray is a three-sided tray specifically designed to hold and store in-process pharmaceutical vials as they move through processing and packaging operations. Made of reinforced composite material, the tray minimizes the dead space in tray stacking, reducing in-process vial storage space. The trays nest reliably and stack well; they are disposable, leakproof, and easy to grip and lift. Molded Fiber Glass Tray Co., Linesville, PA.
Thermoformed plastic trays and other products for pharmaceutical applications are produced using special equipment and appropriate materials. The company makes pharmaceutical sampling units, diagnostic kits, treatment table dispensing aids, surgical and medical procedure kits, and carton interiors for pharmaceutical packaging. Engineering and design services include prototyping and sampling. Howell Packaging, Elmira, NY.
